CHOCOLATE
 
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. water
1 c. milk
a bit of vanilla, if desired

Combine cocoa, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Heat it on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the paste from sticking to the pan. After about 1 to 2 minutes, add milk and vanilla. Mix it all together until it reaches your preferred temperature.

I love this recipe make it every season..but if you have a milk steamer(like on cappuccino machines) you can use cocoa powder and sweetened condensed milk no sugar and just steam your milk. I worked at a coffee shop and we actually shaved our own Ghiradeli chocolate instead of cocoa powder and we were legendary in our town for the best hot chocolate ever. But this is also a great simple hot chocolate and almost as good:)

The dry ingredients and water didn't form a paste - it was more like a syrup. I followed the recipe exactly and it was just a little too sweet, so I ended up adding a little more cocoa powder and milk. Next time I'll just cut the sugar in half. Delicious. After I tried the cocoa I added some espresso to make a mocha. Absolutely amazing and so easy! It only took 10 minutes with all my adjustments.

Sarah Wright's homemade hot chocolate is super quick and delicious. It really warms me up on a cool/cold evening, and when you add mini marshmallows to your mug and stir them in, it creates a nice foam on top, and is creamy as well. I highly recommend it.

Very good. I added some mint extract and it was quite tasty. My 3 yr. old loves it. You can also crush peppermints and add them.
